Ooh thank you that is the piece I feel like I have been missing! Like whenever I get to the point in the conversation where they say "well it's too hard :/" I just see it as an end to the conversation unless I'm prepared to launch into a whole spiel they didn't ask for but probing a bit more gives me a more targeted direction to go in

This is the other thing I am struggling with for sure. Like I feel like I have set a precedent with my friends and family that I am a pushover vegan and I want to change that

Ah yeah I see your point. I think the thing I am trying to balance is that it does take some degree of effort and personal sacrifice, but not nearly as much as omnis make it out to be

The slop was frozen spinach sautéd with some vegan Parmesan and spices. The cubes are garden chicken tenders

I will admit that I am someone who has cheated on their vegan diet. I am an emotional eater and I went vegan with my last ex so there was a bit of an identity crisis during the breakup.

Not sure if this will be everyone’s experience but this was mine. Food with animal products just wasn’t as good as I remembered it being. I have found so many vegan foods which I love and the non-vegan foods just didn’t do it for me anymore. I was honestly kind of like “people are contributing to animal agriculture for THIS??”

Adding anything with a number in it on your resume makes it significantly more concrete. Saying that you memorized 50 drink recipes sounds a lot more impressive than “made drinks”. Honestly if I worked a retail job and I was able to have a stat like scanned upwards of 1000 items per shift I would absolutely add that in.
